Hello and welcome to this episode of, oh, just dropped something, the ESG Fitness Podcast.

I had a very excellent question on my question box yesterday and then I had a discussion

with the coach and then I saw another post and you know when you see like a yellow car or something.

Anyway, that's kind of how I feel about the topic of this episode.

And I think it's one that I hope will really help people and resonate with people.

So the question was, how to kill that in a voice that says, what's the point to start if you're going to give up anyway?

Right. So when you're kind of talking yourself into failure, when you've maybe tried something

numerous times and it's not worked for you. Well, that's what you're going to find out today.

If you want this time to be different, you have to decide that it will be. You have to decide to

fully commit and actually committing to something

100% as opposed to committing something 98%, which is what most people do. Yeah, I'm probably going to do

this, but I'm going to leave myself a little bit of room to change my mind. When you commit something

100% is actually easier. And if you don't commit to this 100%, the chances are it probably won't work.

Because if you're always leaving that gap open to look for an excuse, you will 100% find one.

There is always an excuse.

That 2% between 98% and 100% is the voice inside your head, right?

Is like, you could give up. Oh, you could miss that gym session, oh, you could just do this instead, or there's all, you know, maybe, maybe try again next time.

That constant inner dialogue and debate that you're having with yourself, that's what actually makes change hard.

That's what makes it fatiguing when you're always trying to convince

yourself to do something. The will I or won't I debate that you're constantly having,

it's so, so fatiguing. Now I don't mean, when I say commit to this 100%, I don't mean

never miss a workout or always hit your calories, right?
